Granulated wax is a type of candle-making wax that comes in small, free-flowing beads or pellets. Unlike sand wax, which is decorative and typically not melted down in the same way, granulated wax is specifically designed to be melted and poured into containers or molds for candle-making.
Yes—you can melt granulated wax, and it’s actually one of the easiest forms of wax to work with because the small pellets melt evenly and quickly. This makes it a popular choice for both beginners and professional candle makers.
How to Melt Granulated Wax
- Prepare a double boiler – Place a heat-safe pouring pot or metal container inside a pot of simmering water. Never heat wax directly on a flame to avoid burning.
- Add the granulated wax – Pour the wax pellets into your melting pot.
- Monitor the temperature – Use a thermometer to keep the wax at the correct melting point (depending on the type of wax: soy, paraffin, or palm).
- Stir gently – Stir occasionally to help the wax melt evenly.
- Pour into molds or jars – Once fully melted, you can add fragrance or dye before pouring the wax into containers.
Granulated wax is safe, efficient, and very versatile for candle making. It is different from decorative sand wax or pearl wax, so always check the type before deciding how to use it.
